canecreek are pants. The one on my mbop lasted 10mths.....and a 1.5lower bearing is £40!

Check out the hope or FSA because they will be cheaper to replace the 1.5bearing.

Was looking at FSA tapered headsets, what do they mean by "For tapered 50mm /61mm OD headtubes?"

Don't the On One Smoothies only accomodate a tapered headtube as per the new 456?

Heavy use of exclamation marks would suggest otherwise my friend but your right and I've been looking on the forum every other day but didn't spot a relevant thread, I'll take another look :o)

I used two types, I had a hope step down then bought a second hand 1.5 cane creek off eBay as it was still cheaper for me to do it that way plus I can now use different size steeer tubes if I ever change my forks. So the setup I have now is hope at the top and the cane 1.5 at the bottom works a treat. 8)
